The Ladies' Union Bazaar at the
Young Mems Christian Associations
new building has been decidedly sue
cessful and attended by large crowds
during the past week, and it has been
decided to continue it several nights
longer. The attraction tomorrow night
will be IA Martha Washington reception.
This was given last week, but hundreds
of people were unable to gain admis-
sion to it hence its repetition.
The art museum continues to be one
of the most attractive features of the
Ladies' Bazaar. 1t is one of the most
interesting and instructive collections
of the kind ever gathered together for
exhibition in Richmond. Its educa-
tional value cannot be over estimated,
and parents and teachers should take
advantage of this opportunity of show
ing the children the many articles col
iected from every quarter of the globe.
1t will well repay visit. Daily addi-
tons are made to the museum, and one
of the most recent is a perfect copy on
steel of Munkacsy's great picture,
"Christ Before Plate" 1t is an exact
and faithful copy of the original pic
ture, which was sold to John Wanna
maker for 100000. 1t is engraved on
steel in the finest style of the en-
graver's art.
